Trousseau's contribution to laryngology was considerable, but it was eclipsed by his reputation in other fields. His work in the field was not limited to the diffusion of tracheotomy for the treatment of croup, despite opposition from certain surgeons. He totally transformed the intervention, which up until then had been undertaken without any specific methodology, into a controlled procedure with principles that still apply today. He undertook the study of chronic diseases of the larynx and wrote the first work dedicated to this pathology, before the arrival of laryngoscopy. He reported the first recorded and illustrated case of laryngeal cancer for which he himself performed a tracheotomy. Laryngeal pathology was an important centre of interest throughout his career. With the arrival of laryngoscopy at the end of his professional life, Armand Trousseau had left a lifetime's work that facilitated the expansion of the new generation of laryngology. He could be considered as the first medico-surgical laryngologist, mastering both an in-depth knowledge of the organ, its medicine, and surgery, which at that time was limited to tracheotomy.
特鲁索对喉科学的贡献颇为可观，但他在其他领域的声誉使其在喉科学领域的贡献黯然失色。尽管遭到某些外科医生的反对，他在该领域的工作并不局限于推广气管切开术治疗哮吼。他彻底改变了此前毫无特定方法可循的干预方式，将其转变为一种至今仍适用的有原则的可控程序。在喉镜检查出现之前，他就着手研究喉的慢性病，并撰写了第一部专注于这种病理学的著作。他报告了首例有记录且配有插图的喉癌病例，并亲自为该病例实施了气管切开术。喉病理学在他的整个职业生涯中都是一个重要的关注焦点。在他职业生涯末期喉镜检查出现时，阿尔芒·特鲁索留下了毕生的工作成果，为新一代喉科学的发展提供了便利。他可被视为第一位医学外科喉科医生，精通对该器官的深入了解、其医学和外科知识，而当时外科仅限于气管切开术。
